COUTURE IS DEFINED AS THE HIGH ART OF SEWING. IT ENCOMPASSES HIGHLY TECHNICAL SKILLS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO CREATE THE INNOVATIVE AND DYNAMIC GOWNS YOU SEE EMBRACE THE RED CARPET.

It’s funny, you never know how talented and how many qualities you have until you try something new. And I have to be honest, Haute Couture was more than what I was expecting. I found love and passion in this program.

— Jemina A., Class of Winter 2016

The Couture Design program is a three month intensive program that teaches students to create intricate designs through various hand sewing techniques, understand the appropriate stitches used for couture fabrics, and how to attach feathers, lace, and beading to fabric. By the end of the program, students will have created a gown and bustier.
